About Brinkmann

Audio, no matter what components you choose to purchase, no matter at what price point, and no matter if you choose your speakers to be driven by vacuum tubes or solid state components should be fun. Fun means that when you sit down after a long day at work (consider if you are a psychotherapist, a school crossing guard, or even a chef) and when you finally put away the work of the day, you want to listen to music that captivates you, music that gives you pleasure, music that is realistic and involving.
Helmut Brinkmann has been designing and making audio components for 19 years and in those 19 years has developed circuit topologies and has designed equipment that allows you to discover what good audio production is. His designs cross that ill defined bridge of accuracy and musicality and provide satisfaction whether you listen to CD, SACD or vinyl sources.

Music. Sound. It is not only with our ears we hear. We hear with a mind that organizes the information received by our ears. Mind structures reality. Data has no life separate from the software that organizes it. There are no observers, only participators. Music is heard through a set of filters which are your personal mental images and concepts that shape your hearing. These focus on rhythm, focus on harmony, focus on melody. If you set these filters too narrow, you won't hear music. Let the music rain on your brain and fall through the cracks. Let it take you. Non-verbal communication. Sub-consciousness to sub-consciousness. Achieve resonance. This resonance is an awesome power and it can happen live, at a classical music concert, and it can happen in your home listening room.

Music is the most mystical experience many people will have in their lives. People can experience something other through music. Music is that touch of other world-ness, universal-ness. Call it divine if you would like. Music is life. Give in to it. Let it take you on a trip. Loud or soft. Let it seduce you. Play it over and over again. Turn it on and come tune in. Rinse. Repeat.

Audition Brinkmann Audio designs for yourself and if you listen to a recording you know well, a recording of music that when you are day dreaming you find yourself humming, and through that audition you find yourself with goose bumps... your search is over.

Mark Levinson 326S Baby version of the Ref 32 Pre-amp at a reasonable cost of £6,995. Like most technologies the benefits of the research for the reference products trickle down into more affordable products like the 326s Pre-amp. You get alot of the quality of its bigger brother, providing a jump in the quality available at this price.

Ayre Acoustics C-5xe Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory. I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes Phillips, July, 2005

Gryphon Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100. The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case, you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame, pure music at its best.

Brinkmann LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback

Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music playback short of the dCS trio reviewed by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract

ProAc D100 The imposing new Response D100 takes on the mantle of flagship model from our legendary Response Four, which has delighted discerning audiophiles for the last twelve years.

The D100's produce stunning music, effortlessly. The enhanced sensitivity extracts the tiniest detail from any recording without brightness or exaggeration. Greater bandwidth creates a huge soundstage, drawing in the listener and creating a concert hall experience, where the loudspeakers seem to melt from the scene..
